Inherit the Wind is a fictionalized retelling of the famous 1925 "Monkey Trial," in which science teacher John Scopes was tried and convicted for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution, thereby violating a Tennessee law that forbade the teaching of any theory that conflicted with the biblical conception of divine creation.

Beaver was most recently seen on Broadway in The Caine Mutiny Court Martial. Fowler received Tony Award nominations for The Boy From Oz and Sweeney Todd. Jennings has appeared on Broadway in such shows as Heartbreak House, A Touch of the Poet, and Twelve Angry Men. O'Hare won a Tony Award for his performance in Take Me Out and is currently co-starring in CSC's production of A Spanish Play.
